Corruption has reached crest in Afghanistan

International communities have started working in Afghanistan since 2002 and currently there are more then forty five countries working for the development, improvement and sustainability of Government of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. America, Germany, United Kingdom and Czech Republic are in high superiority. Many Government Departments and private sectors are handled, managed and financed by these countries although, all departments and private organizations are audited and controlled by their clients (client; from whom they receive financial funds) but still corruption is present in all organizations; bribery, dishonesty and fraud are common practices and are growing day by day. None of the Government departments will work till you pay them something apart from the Government charges or give them something extra. If you do so, your pending work with the government will be solved even if it’s not a legal issue.
A traveler waiting to get a passport will be waiting until he| she gives the Government official something superfluous, a Government doctor will not check up a patient cautiously until you give him some money or something as a reward. A driver can not get his driving license until he| she pays additional charges for it. A student registering his school certificate from overseas will be waiting till he| she gives something to the officer. Mr. Hassan who had to register his high school certificate in 2007 with the education cell in Ministry of Education in view of the fact that he was graduated from a high school in Pakistan and thus, should be registered with the Government of Afghanistan as an Afghan student, to get his higher education internally or if he wants to get a job. He was daily going to the Ministry, to register his high school certificate but nobody was responding him in good manner. According to him he was sent from one section to other within the departments and none of the Government official was responding positively. A month was spent in doing so. Later on, one of the Government employees within the departments told him, to pay him some money to get his certificate registered with the ministry of education. There was no way with Hassan except to pay bribe and get his work done instead of wasting time.

Most of the international Organizations, specially US firms or NGOs which are financed by United States Agency for International Development or USAID are involved in corruption too. This fund which needs to be spent on the development of the country is kept in the pockets by some of their internal employees working within the organization. The most corrupt department in USAID funded projects are Contrasts, Procurements and Grants where most of the money is allocated by the client. Most of the employees working in these projects have their own or relatives firms/companies and these companies are cheating the internal information through their family members or friends and preparing a proposal or application according to the requirement and specification. Even these USAID project employees are working part time with the companies to prepare their proposal according to the mentioned criteria in the Request for Proposals send by them and receive payments from the bidders\companies. On the other hands, some of these employees working for USAID funded projects are getting percentages from the subcontractor to award them a project. Though, the Contracts, Procurements & Grants department are mostly involved in the pre-award stage till a contract is awarded. These folks are mostly interested in a firm/company that gives them more percentage from the awarded cost of the project. In this way, these internal employee starts trying to support the firm by giving them internal prepared data, information and what ever is needed to get the project. Therefore, they try to share as much information as they can provide to the subcontractor and even they get involve while preparing a proposal for them.

Afghans in a half way education

Afghanistan is an Asian Country with a population of 31,056,000. Among this population 80 percent of the population is uneducated while only 20 percent of the population, who have been to other countries as refugees, got their education. Those who couldn’t migrate remained in the country, due to some problems such as missing someone in their family, lost of father or brother in a family as a result of the war, to get them out (as he was the only male representative of the family) or because of lacking in finance and couldn’t manage to get there regular education. So, majority of the mentioned population remained uneducated.

In last three decades of war the remaining population in Afghanistan tried for their survival. These people were struggling for finding food, which was the only family voice to find meal for their just survival as their sources were very limited. Few family members were working in the fields, however it was too difficult to work. Few others to have been striving to find food by driving taxis or trucks, but despite all these efforts none of them were secured & comfortable with their lives. It is considered the main factor of illiteracy among those stayed in the country

Fear of bombing, voice of rocket launcher and tanks bombardment were in the ear of all. Mothers were waiting for their sons, sisters were waiting for their brothers’ and children were waiting for their fathers to arrive safe in the evening and can quench their thirst and hunger. They were squeezing till to see their family member alive after work. They were all poor and most of their male family members were taken by the Government to fight against Mujahidden (Govt. against party). All teen ages, having little beard were taken from houses by force against Mujahidden. Consequently, most of the families were hiding their male representatives when Government soldiers were searching males in a house or society. These males when captured by Government soldiers were then sent to other provinces of Afghanistan to fight with Govt. soldier against Mujahidden. Additionally, these Govt. soldiers were not behaving well too. They were beating people inside their houses and abusing them. This is considered the second and the most important factor of not getting education in Afghanistan.

All these issues compelled Afghan and started migration, as neither of the activity was supported by Afghans. Soon after Afghans started leaving the country. Those whose family members were in executive positions with the government could pass a better life and those who had good financial support, by sending their family member to other safe and protected countries of the world. Some Afghans who had field or land, started selling their fields and land or those having other type of business such as vehicle bargain, big company or were at good position in Government, took their families to other countries of the world. Those with good financial support took their families to European countries such as England, Italy, Holland, Germany, Denmark, and to America but these were a small number of families. Some families sent their family members through road transportation as they were sent illegally without getting visa. Many of them have lost their lives; some were lost on the way, others were gun down while crossing boarders of one country to get another. Most of them dive into the water while leaving Turkey to reach Europe by ship as this was the only way to get there from Turkey. These family members were gone through Iran, reaching Russia after crossing Kazakhstan. Some of them remain in Russia while other left as they couldn’t work there to earn money for their families. Those who were not satisfied with the Russian Government policy & environment because of earning less income or seeing that Afghans were not given freedom as compare to other countries, were passing to Turkey and then to other European countries where they can generate more income for their left families in Afghanistan to survive. On the other hand, most of the population migrated to Iran and Pakistan as these two countries are the neighboring Islamic Countries and moreover, it was too cheap to travel to. Pakistan is situated in the east and Iran in the west. Most of the populations who couldn’t tolerate fighting inside Afghanistan were in these two countries. Those who went to Pakistan had a great ambitious as the Government of Pakistan was dealing and having good behavior, attitude and good reputation with Afghans. Afghans were given opportunities to work and go to school. There were seats given to Afghans as a student in all level of education, including schools, colleges and universities. At least, there were two Afghan seats in each department of all Government colleges and universities through out the four provinces of Pakistan. Afghans were given the right of education. They were treated as a Guest. Younger males were given the opportunity to work and feed their families. Some Afghan had carts selling fresh fruits such as Apples, Mangoes, Grapes, Melons, Watermelons and vegetables while others had their own shops, selling different type of Pakistani and Chinese products.

In contrast, those who went to Iran were uneducated as Iran Government was not leaving an Afghan get education. Even they were not behaving as Pakistani brothers did. Children were kept in houses; younger remained in their works as prisoners. In short, as a neighboring country it didn’t perform its duty but instead they give us some bad habits. Those upon return from Iran were best drug specialist, knowing any type of drug and were good smokers.
